Sorry
#2 is a noob question. Is it a potential safety risk?
You will fall. Everyone does. Everyone.
#1 . Shimano SPD pedals and shoes are so dependent on your foot that no one should recommend anything. Go visit dealers and try them on.
#2 . Very safe with some practice in unclipping. After a while it will become second nature. Also, completely not necessary on a bike other than a racing road bike. I had them on my cross and swapped them for large surface grippy MTB pedals. Nothing lost, lots gained.
